Iceland has been described as a democratic independent country where more fish are caught and more books are published per person than anywhere else in the world.The Icelanders have always felt a particular love for literature.They composed their first books in the ninth and tenth centuries AD.These works were poems and tales about the kings,heroes,and heroines of Iceland and Norway.At first,the stories were memorized and passed from generation to generation.They were finally written down between 1140 and 1220.The Icelanders have never stopped writing ever since.“Rather shoeless than bookless,” they proudly say.
